OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE: PROPANE
DANGER
ways turn the propane tank valve to the fully closed
position if not running the generator on propane.
l Make sure the LPG/propane hose is correctly connected
to the generator and propane tank.
l Turn the fuel selector switch to propane operation. (See
Figure 17.)
l Fully open the valve on the propane tank.
l Place the battery switch in the ON position.
l Choose the starting method:
 •  R emoteStart: Push and hold the START button on the
remote start key fob for one second.
 •  P ush-ButtonStart:Push and hold the engine START/
STOP button for two seconds.
 •  R ecoilStart: Manually close the choke if the engine is
cold. Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly until
you feel increased resistance, then pull rapidly.
NOTE: In extreme cold, manually close the choke by
moving it right toward the front handle of the generator.
NOTE: During Push-Button or Remote Start the engine will
automatically set the choke and begin the start sequence.
If the engine fails to start, the generator will attempt to start
the engine two more times.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
l Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
NOTE: Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices connected.
l Let the generator run with no load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine.
l Push and hold the START/STOP button for one second or
push STOP on the remote start key fob for one second.
NOTE: Alternately, if the generator is used infrequently, turn
the fuel tank valve to the OFF position to limit the residual
fuel remaining in the carburetor float bowl. The engine will
stop when fuel in the carburetor and fuel line is exhausted.
l Put the battery switch to the OFF position.
l If operating on LPG, turn the propane tank valve to the
fully closed position.
To stop the unit quickly in an emergency:
l Put the engine run/stop switch in the STOP position.

OVERLOAD RESET
Do not overload the generator. If the generator is ap-
proaching or has reached an overload condition, the OVER-
LOAD LED on the control panel will illuminate.
If the generator is close to overloading, the OVERLOAD
LED will blink. Turn off and remove one or more connected
devices to decrease the load and resume normal operation.
If the load is not reduced, the unit will reach an overload
condition. To extend the service life of the generator, avoid
running the unit near capacity.
If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short circuit in
a connected device, the OVERLOAD LED will turn solid,
and the unit will automatically disconnect from the load.
The engine will continue to run, but there will not be any
electrical output.
To restore electrical output after an overload:
l Remove any connected loads from the control panel
receptacles.
l Push the RESET button on the control panel until the
OVERLOAD LED goes OFF and the OUTPUT READY
LED is illuminated.
l Reset the circuit breaker(s) if activated.
l Verify that the intended running and surge loads do not
exceed the generator's capacity.
l Reconnect electrical loads sequentially, allowing the
generator to stabilize after each load is connected.
